Shortly after releasing the final public version of OS X 10.10
Yosemite, Apple on Thursday pushed out iTunes 12.0.1 with various
design and performance enhancements in line with the company's new Mac
operating system.

According to Apple's release notes, iTunes 12.0.1 is "designed for
OS X Yosemite," though users of previous Mac operating systems like OS X
10.9 Mavericks can download and use the software.

Along with the usual performance boosts and bug fixes, the newest iTunes
revision brings a redesigned interface with translucent elements
borrowed from Yosemite. The result is added depth and a cleaner look
compared to past software versions.

In addition, users can now activate Family Sharing, a feature that lets
customers share music, e-book and app purchases with up to five family
members. Family Sharing was introduced with iOS 8 and is now available
through Yosemite.

Other tweaks include dedicated icons for music, movies and TV shows, a
seamless browsing experience when switching between your library and the
iTunes Store and the addition of a Recently Added category that
aggregates all newly added content.
